Re: sata_nv and RAID1

"didn't fail" means that the raid entered into degraded mode. in
/proc/mdstats you would notice that the disk is faulty.
I have a root file system over raid1 and I could not allow myself 
letting the operating system hang, so i added it. 
This is not the best solution and the maintainers of the code would
disapprove it since it is not complete.But for myself it is suffice.

Hi Raz,
   My english is not good enough. When you say "And the raid1 didn't fail", 
did you mean it worked as expected, entering degraded mode, or that it failed 
to enter in degraded mode?
   Also, is there any reason why you didnt send this also to the mailling 
list? Maybe it's useful to somebody else.

  Thank you very much for your mail. I dont know if I will be able to test it, 
as the server is in it's way to production , but if I can, I will give it a 
try.

I had the same problem.I added at the end ata_scsi_error the following
command:
ata_port_disable(ap);
And the raid1 didn't fail. I didn't get the hotswap so rebooting is
necessary and then you raidhotadd the new disk.
Also, before hotadd type :
echo 1000 > /proc/sys/dev/raid1/speed_limit_max
so your system won't be too busy with ios.

You need to go into the SCSI layer and figure out how to do it.

Calling scsi_remove_device() in the appropriate place is a good start.
Add a debounce timer.  Make sure all commands are completed with an
error (avoids memory leaks and lock-ups).  Other details.

Hot unplug is not just a simple function call...

thank you Jeff! I dont think I will be able to do it, though. Thank you
for the fast answers.
